Working with Lana was one of the greatest gifts of my pregnancy and postpartum journey. She has cared for our family with such warmth, gentleness, and wisdom. Importantly, Lana was a source of light during one of the most vulnerable times in my life and went above and beyond in her support--from providing prenatal education, in-home visits, to managing our emotions during the birthing process. I felt held and empowered from pregnancy to birth. I’m endlessly grateful for her.

Lana was an amazing support system during my pregnancy and during birth. She made sure to inform my husband and I of everything including the birth, how to take care of our baby, and post patrum depression. It was amazing that she educated my husband and I about post patrum depression since it is not talked about that often. I truly did rely on her during the birth of my baby. Since her and I share the same faith it was more easier for me to connect with her and she was using Islamic practices to make sure I was calm during the pain. She is truly passionate about her work and she has a calming demeanor. My husband and I are truly thankful that we had Lana as part of our team during the birth. Plus she was also there after birth which is the toughest part especially for first time parents like my husband and I. Overall, I recommend Lana as a doula to anyone. She is more than amazing!

As a first time mom I don't know how I could have gone through labor without Lana. She has been a huge support since the day I met her, she wasn't just present during labor but also prepped me for it. She was the first person I called when my water broke and she was there with me during my long labor, when my contractions didn’t start she guided me, then when they finally started she held me, reminded me to breathe and made sure I was hydrated. My birth plan didn’t go exactly as planned but she helped me navigate through it. She made my birthing place such a calm space, she lit candles had essential oils and made sure it was a safe place for me. When finally it was time to push she was my biggest cheer leader. Lana is also a certified Lamaze instructor and she was my childbirth educator. I am so very grateful for her, my birthing experience would have been different without her.

This was my second pregnancy aiming for an unmedicated birth. I wasn't sure if I truly wanted or needed a doula the second time around. After meeting with Lana, I knew having her support throughout pregnancy and at my birth would be a gift. I am SO grateful I followed my intuition becauase I was right. Lana talked through with me any concerns or worries I had that came up during my pregnancy. She also promptly arrived at my birth, ready to support. Her presence was grounding and her hands on support was unmatched. She's a mom herself and her advice draws from her education + lived expereince. Lana is a gem in the doula community.
